Before the big move, I would only be in town a few days across multiple weeks but Alex met me at my home and on my schedule. I called and emailed 5 other handymen and explained in detail and with pictures what I needed done (kitchen cabinets, backsplash, crown molding in all bedrooms and living room, multiple window replacement, installing driveway lights) but Alex was the only one who came to see the house and he gave me a fair estimate that he stuck to. His expertise and professionalism were exactly what we were looking for especially since we had to manage the project remotely. Alex's advice on materials and his discount on paint at S Williams also helped save me some serious cash. These are the guys you're looking for. I'll be using them again when I redo my floors and finish my basement!

We contracted Martin to do the large scale job of renovating our home on Capitol Hill, DC. Martin was extremely unprofessional, constantly missing deadlines, asking for large amounts of extra money, working extremely slow and was unreachable for the entire month of December, not doing any work on the home and refusing to answer calls or texts. Martin also keeps a deplorable job site, and these conditions permanently damaged expensive finishes in our home, which must now be replaced (see photos of permanent wood stain spilled on marble counter and tile floor, as well as paint/compound on new hardwood floors). After another two weeks of no work being done and Martin avoiding phone calls, We finally decided to take the large financial loss, terminate his contract via text (which he never responded to) and hire a new contractor to finish the work he did not complete. The attached photos of the condition he left our house in speak for themselves.

Martin and his team are the absolute best. They helped us with everything from design of our new…read morebasement to painting and plumbing. It was completely pleasant, seamless and stress free to work with them-- which we know from experience is very rare in the home renovation space. Martin truly cares and really wants to make his clients happy -- and this shows in his work. We would highly recommend him to everyone we know for just about any job. If he can't do the work himself, he has great contacts with other contractors who will be able to help. (We has excellent experiences with every single one of his contacts, too). There's really no reservation whatsoever in recommending Martin as a highly professional and highly skilled contractor. Whenever gets to work with him is lucky!

If I could give 0 stars I would. Lofft Construction was recommended to us by some neighborhood…read morefriends. Alex came to our house and gave us an estimate to repair our front steps and told us they would last a very long time. A few days later, his workers showed up, unannounced, asking what they needed to do. I told them I have no idea, and my husband is not home, and to coordinate a time with him. A few days later (on a Sunday), they showed up unannounced again! My husband was out again! They asked me to pick a paint color and I asked if that is included in the price we were quoted and they said they didn't know. As I was trying to figure that out, it came out that they don't think repairing the stairs is a good idea and they can't even guarantee they won't break again for even 3 days. I asked if it would be a lot more expensive to redo the whole thing and they said it would be exponentially more expensive. I told them we'll talk to Alex and get back to them. 30 minutes later, Alex calls my husband screaming at him! He told him that we shouldn't ask his contractors about prices and that he doesn't work that way and that we should find someone else to work with and hung up the phone on my husband! He was literally screaming at my husband on the phone. And then hung up on him. There are so many issues with our experience starting with the fact that the workers kept showing up without prior notice and asking a lot of questions as if they didn't know what they were supposed to be doing. And then of course the fact that he was trying to scam us into doing something that he knew might not even last the week. And then finally, calling my husband and screaming at him and hanging up on him because his workers were asking us a lot of questions?! It's just been an atrocious experience. I recommend avoiding him at all costs. UPDATE: Alex is now threatening my husband over text messages because of our review. We are just stating facts. He said we are inappropriate to contact him on a Sunday when it was his contractors who showed up at our doorstep, unannounced, on a Sunday, and we were just calling to clear things up with him because they had no idea what they were supposed to do and were asking me a lot of questions. He also accused us of trying to strike a deal with his subcontractors, something that didn't cross our minds for one second. We were just trying to figure out if the paint his contractors were making me choose was included in the estimate he provided us.

Alex was helpful and responsive in coming to my home, talking me through the process and promptly providing a quote. Lofft was not the cheapest estimate I received but based on my meeting with Alex and previous reviews, I decided to hire them for my work. Very happy with my decision. The project began and ended exactly on schedule. Eric and Freddie were easy to work with, dependable, did a fantastic job and kept the worksite clean during the project. I'm going to redo my master bath and will look to Lofft to do the project. I'd give them six stars if the system allowed.

No doubt these are the guys we will call for our next project.

The previous review is correct: Eric Mallow does fantastic work, has a very pleasant personality and is very friendly. I hope he can do the same magic with the repairs as he did with the original tile work. I cringe to see all of the hard work and expensive tile having to be replaced. Bottom line: If you consider Mallow Construction for your job, make sure they understand you insist they pull the proper permits for ANY work they do, then advise them that you do not want the plumber, RF Hawes Heating and Plumbing anywhere near your property!

I have never been less than completely satisfied with RGL's work. The folks who do the work are unfailingly polite, on time and well qualified. The prices Bob charges are very reasonable, and he stands behind his work. Based on the quality and price of the work he has performed for me, I strongly recommend checking with him before undertaking any work on your house. I can say without fear of contradiction that you will be happy you did so.

We hired Lakewood Home Builders to build a 2-story addition following an architects' plans. The…read morework was completed in 2019. Since then, we have struggled to get them to correct problems. The mini-split systems their HVAC subcontractor installed have never worked properly. They run for a little while (long enough to pass inspection apparently) and then shut off and have to be reset. Their HVAC sub said they were getting new units for us, and now that I have asked again they say they are out of warranty so they don't have to. The new concrete driveway is deteriorating already. The deterioration seems to be only on the main portion so presumably a problem with that concrete pour. When I asked about the first signs of deterioration my concerns were brushed off. The driveway was also initially made narrower than the civil engineer's specifications so a strip had to be added to make it the correct width, which looks unsightly. They also cut corners with the architect's specifications. The back stairs were supposed to be low-rise - about 6.5" - to match our front stairs for accessibility. Instead they used higher risers so those stairs have a rise about 8" and are hard for me to use. The attic pull-down stairs that were specified to be insulated are not. I worry that there are more things that we just haven't noticed that were not done to specifications. We like the space, but the rec room is unusable in winter without a working heating system. Another warning - their HVAC subcontractor installed HVAC air vents in the floor of a bathroom including next to the toilet. Imagine what happens when the toilet overflows? Code allowed that (and may still, be careful) but it's certainly a bad idea (code does not allow HVAC vents in bathroom floors in commercial buildings) and I would hesitate to trust a contractor who built like that. I really wish we had chosen a different contractor.
